This handsome, compact book collects the love poetry of Solomon's "Song of Songs" and the devotional poems of the Psalms, as rendered in the beautiful language of the King James Bible. In the Song of Solomon, the feelings of erotic human love are turned into a powerful metaphor for the love between God and his people, while in the Psalms, King David's words ring with his own passion as they glorify the Lord, seek His help in time of need, and express wonder at the magnificence of Creation. An ideal gift edition, the book features a ribbon marker, colored endpapers, and two-color printing.
